Settings, Shortcuts, Keybinds and Tips! - New players Guide - Escape from Tarkov

[@fenner1986]

If you got a mouse with side keys on it, I always bind change rate of fire and enable flashlight/laser on those two keys. They are used a ton, and having them on your thumb buttons helps a ton since both keys are in the middle of your keyboard and slow (t and b). Having them on your mouse allows you to swap RoF for long range shots, or go full fun mode for CQB, and then having your laser or flashlight on a button that you can click with your thumb.

[@meeks726]

I use mouse 3 for zooming in and out, and mouse 4 to change fire

[@immersiveirl6638]

Logitech G602 mouse has 6 buttons under the thumb. I use them for ranging up/down, change scope zoom, toggle tactical device/NVG and melee. With a Razer Tartarus (I have a Nostromo, but same same) and some creative rebinding of control key combos, I get almost everything within finger reach without having to move my palms.

[@nah2454]

I have those two set for leaning left and right, can micro adjust your lean while having total control of everything else. It's so good👌 I use them as jump and crouch in COD

[@azizal-shaikhli6797]

@@nah2454 Imma try this when I get off work. I'm just learning how to use m&k & this sounds like a lifesaver cuz my movement is equivalent to a baby giraffe at this point. I always end up moving forward while I'm tryna lean cuz my fingers aren't used to a keyboard🤣

[@nah2454]

@@azizal-shaikhli6797 personally use the front for leaning right, back one for leaning left. Found it extremely useful playing tarkov. Scroll wheel up to cop a reload. I use scroll wheel down to go prone in Hell let loose. If you play cod, the side buttons are definitely the best for jumping and sliding all over the place. I use space bar for lethals 👌 hopefully it helps. You can then assign the other keys to whatever you feel you'll be doing fairly often. Do whatever you feel comfortable with, only takes around 15 minutes to get use to new keys bindings. Free choice my guy 👌👍

These videos are always so informative. Thank you for posting these helpful videos as well as some awesome gameplay!

[@solgast]

As a new player I find this really helpful Pestily. Lots of great ideas and gameplay improvements! Keep up the great work!

[@spellp]

This is fantastic my man. Thanks for helping us out! If you're open to suggestions for content, I would LOVE to see a video on tactical positioning/maneuvering for beginner to intermediate players! By far my biggest skill gap is knowing where to go and how to get there while a) looking for people to shoot and b) being shot at.

[@Kyks2244]

You can drag and drop items on the "container" (bag,vest,secure container, ) it will automaticly place it in a open slot

Had interface volume on 100 and the change to 30 feels like a whole different game :D Thanks dude.

[@et34n1ty-ttv]

I've seen in Twitch a lot of your stream, its impressive how you're good. Thanks for this video. Its helping me a lot to understand more tips. Im only level 15 but try to gain speed and next step is how to get me AIM.

[@frenekel]

Alt + Enter actully is the default to switch from Fullscreen to windowed and back for nearly all applications, so by pressing alt+enter you´re pretty much undoing the whole borderless point :D I´d have a better suggestion for that, meaning multiple monitors etc, download the program called "Borderless Gaming", its really easy to use and especially usefull on older games that dont support modern resolutions. You just open the programm, open up Tarkov, then alt+tab out and add Tarkov from the left of the lists to the right, and viola you got a borderless window with the correct resolution and actually being borderless^^ Edit 1 just cause im in the mood for some "conversation": I think at 3:40 , the Blur isnt causing the glow for the most part i think, just simply add some blur to the gun and sights housing, noise and chrom. abor. on the other hand does make a difference, chromatic abberations causes those strange colorflares if im not mistaken and noise is simply "film grain", so yeah that most definetly fucks up your vision. Edit 2: I would rebind discard to one of the thumb buttons on your mouse so you are even faster with looting.

[@dlcgaming747]

Hay dude, with the exception of V-sync and sharpness I set my video setting just the same as you... All I can say is thanx dude... It very much changed the game for me. I can now see the enemy and also feel the improvement in a way I very much couldn't before. Thanx dude!!

[@mynameis8211]

The way he casually kills 3 scavs from extremly close range. He makes it seem like an easy game. Also thats a beast of a moustache

[@Thee_Sinner]

IIRC, there are sensitivity calculators where you can input your settings from one game and it will tell you what to set it at for another game to have them equal.

[@100GamesofDeath]

i didnt know you could choose between ammo and a mag during reload that was a interesting one thanks

[@ArtOfTheCarbine]

Solid info, Pestily. I learned a few things and I'm pretty stoked about that. Thanks for the info, my dude. Hope you have an awesome weekend chillin' with your dad bro!

[@tmeafd1790]

I love how he laughs when he says reduce stutters

[@Rondog.]

I find mouse 4 good for discarding. Makes it nice n quick

[@iamusdamma2637]

This was a very educational video with a whole mirage of handy methods within the game mechanics, Thank you.

[@eemil5694]

BONUS TIP for a small performance boost - Make sure that your launcher doesn't stay open when you start your game. You can do this by opening the BSG Launcher > settings > When i launch the game: Exit the launcher completely

[@jehreetv]

You can hold c and use the scroll wheel and decide exactly how much you want to crouch. Thought that was cool

I never knew you could pick lose ammo or a mag on the SKS. I always took the 35rounder with lose ammo because I like the animation and I would just hope I never run into big squads. Cool tip, thanks!

[@massaBeard]

The thing about that 75 FOV btw is that you need to compensate for the stretched vertical aim, making headshots a lot harder for those that don't know about it.

[@iwodrummer]

Nice vid mate! You forgot an important tip I didn’t realize untill saw your stream time ago now. But I was blinded about this for like a year: to examine items quickly press the scroll button on mouse! ;)

[@hostileducky620]

ive been clicking it on items and it didnt work for me

Really nice video! Thx 4 that! But could you do a specific video for sound settings?! Like a setup of the equalizer for hearing footsteps louder?

[@deraxmerax7689]

i've been playing for over half a year and i've just learned that you can manually select magazines

[@Flacoon1]

Derax Merax on sks or Mosin you can select the ammo you want to Load too :)

[@ArtOfTheCarbine]

Haha yeah I figured that one out by accident a little over a week ago. I spazzed out after a round smacked the train car next to me from seemingly nowhere, no muzzle report, nada. In my drunken, spazzing fat-fingering stupor, I leaned from cover, accidentally holding R as well as E (Cherry MX Speeds with their 0.00000001mm actuation distance), then pressed middle mouse to turn my head and the magazine selection menu popped up. I tripped out for about 1 - 2 seconds before I ate a round in the face from "SpoogeMeister69" or some damn name. I was just stoked that I learned how to select magazines hahaha. #WelcomeToTarkov

[@danielhall6354]

i bind draw sidearm to one of the side mouse buttons

[@Only_FiggZ]

Pest when you change your discard to U what did you change your compass button too ?

[@greasymnky2748]

Is it me or at 6:59 when he removes the mustache, the audio changes?

[@iPanicyt]

He loaded in with that helmet. A helmet you load in with doesnt muffle sound. Also if you load in with face shield lowered Then you wont have breathing noises. As he removed the mustache it musta updated his client side character profile. The helmet and faceshield still protects. Just Audio bug/glitch that negates the negatives of thicc helmets

[@SkullCandy5671]

Does FOV still effect scope zeroing?

[@hitmeinsteadofyourkid4967]

not to my knowledge, if you scope in while changing zero with any sight you will notice the reticle or crosshair move up or down, changing your point on impact that way; I believe that was the fix they implemented.

[@salttrader]

[@Krumm3L]

Have my Discard button as "U" quite a long time ago because was really annoying to take my right hand off my mouse and risk getting jumped on.

[@justjerrry5834]

What is the open hotkey? For example I wanna open my backpack

[@lbrambolful]

wouldnt it be awesome if we could change the size of our inventory screen. i mean what if you could make all the backpacks and vests and all smaller so you dont have to scroll when looting, this will increase your looting speed significantly i think. when you use a big rig with an attack pack its sometimes a pain to move stuff up and down with scrolling. I know theres already a way to do this but it only seems to work on 1440p screens or higher

[@DeBlackKnight]

You can't do it on a 1080p screen by setting in-game resolution to 720p? I have a 1440p screen so I can't try
